Customer Reviews Born Sabrina - Crown Collection

I have a wide forefoot with the beginnings of a bunion and a narrow heels. It's hard to find shoes that fit while looking and feeling great. These are great! Comfortable for hours and attractive.Plenty of room in the toebox while no slippage in the heel.

I wear an 8 in Born's slip on sandals, but I'm normally an 8 1/2 or 9 in closed toed shoes. I took the 9 in this to have it feel comfortable. The heel is a neat shape, although with its convex curve, I wonder if it will get scuffed when driving. They are higher heels than I usually wear. I'm usually not comfortable over 2 1/2 inches, and these felt like almost 3 inch heels. I almost, almost kept these, until I tried on the Gentle Souls More Rupert, which felt like slippers in comparison, so I went with the Gentle Souls instead. Of the Born Sabrina, the Box Calf is shiny. Not patent leather shiny, but very shiny. The brushed brown was wrinkled and looked cheap. The black napa leather was more of a matte black finish and was the softest leather of the 3 Born pumps.

I am not the best audience for this shoe, since I never wear heels and only bought it for an interview. I have always had difficulty wearing heels, That said, the shoe is an odd mix between matronly and retro-40's cool. It has a chunky and slightly convex heel, which adds stability and a bit of style edge. The personality of the shoe will take on that of its owner, I think. As far as heels go, this is a well made, quality shoe with good leather. There's some padding in the sole. But, given who I am, my feet started hurting after a few hours and by the end of the half-day of interviews, I had trouble walking. The only heels I have been able to wear are John Fluevog boots that somehow shift the weight-bearing balance to the heels. This shoe keeps the weight on the balls, like most heels, and for that reason I can't wear it day to day at the office.

I loved these, alas, I could not bear the narrowness of the toe box. Sometimes I can do it with the Born Crown shoes, in this pair I could not. If you have wider feet probably avoid these. If you have normal feet, I am jealous.

These may have been okay in black, but this brown "color" is hideous. Another reviewer wrote that the wrinkles in the leather made the brown version look cheap...she was right. Not only does the shoe look cheap, but the color seems to be printed onto the leather, as opposed to dyed. Does that make sense? If I could just find a great pair of brown heels, that would be great.

Beautiful shoes, unfortunately the size 11 (43) are too big and slip off my heels. The 10 was too tight. Wish Born made half sizes!

I wish I could give the other reviews a review because based on the recommendation of others I went a half size down. I religiously wear a size 8. Many reviewers said they went anywhere from .5 to 1.5 sizes down in these shoes, so I ordered a 7.5. My foot is so smushed, my arch barely touches the shoe at all and my toes are curled over. Nevertheless I needed them before flying out for a funeral and now I have no choice but to keep them and hope they stretch. They look great and I know had I ordered my correct size, the fit would be perfect. Great height, not too high, but just enough to give you that lift...about 2 inches. Super cushy insole.

These shoes are beautiful in person and uber comfortable. I usually wear a 7.5, but these slipped on my heel, so I will try a size down. Buy these if you want a stylish heel to wear all day without the pain!

Worth the money for the comfort of wearing a heel with padding and looks great with a suit. I thought that the toe was a little more snug than other shoes I've ordered at the same size.

When I first put on these shows, they felt like the most comfortable shoes I'd worn in a while. After a few hours of walking a couple blocks here and there and wearing them in my office, I still found them to be fairly comfortable but not quite the perfect shoe I thought they'd be. They're a tiny bit too long (but maybe not enough to go down a half size) so I'm using a shoe insert to keep them from flopping (slightly) in the heel. I've now worn them at least 4 or 5 times (each time for 10-12 hours) and after a full day the sides of my feet hurt a little. (It might be that the discomfort comes from the fact that I'm slightly contorting my feet to hold the shoe on when I walk.) They're certainly more comfortable than most 3 inch heeled shoes, and I'm still hoping that after another 5 wears or so, I'll want to wear them all the time, but I'm sad to report that I'm not quite there yet. Still - they are cute enough and comfortable enough to walk a mile in without too much discomfort.

Loved the look and color of these shoes. The toe box was a little tight but would probably stretch out a little. Had to send them back because the my heel slipped out of them.

I absolutely loved these when I first bought them, but they have worn out in many ways subsequently. Now that it's a few months later the heel is peeling and there have been several spots I've needed to fill in as the exterior has ripped off.

These are the most comfortable heels ever. I am about to buy my second pair - my first pair was my go-to for job interviews, needing to walk in heels, etc, and they are pretty scuffed by this point. I love them enough to buy them again. They are not the sexiest heels in the world, but they are classic and they feel like walking on clouds.

Love the heel height and the look. But, the heels began slipping so badly they are hard to keep on. I put in inserts in toe area to keep from slipping forward...didn't help. will try heel pads next.

These are my go-to work shoes. They look great, they're comfortable without making me look like an old lady, and I can easily walk around in them all day. Unfortunately I wore them so much that they've gotten pretty scuffed... I love them so much that I'm thinking about buying an identical pair!

Very comfortable and the print is neutral enough to go with my professional dresses or suites. There is a slight gold overlay on the print which isn't captured in the photo. It makes them look more polished. I received several compliments on them. Of note, I wore these on the first day to a large conference I was hosting. I knew I was going to be on my feet for hours, but the power went out at the hotel and with all the adjustments, moves and other circumstances, my day in these heels was much longer than expected. They did great. I never took them off until I got home. Great job, Born! I ordered a pair in black that night!

I love my new Born Sabrina shoes. I chose them because they compliment my coach purse I already have. These shoes are very comfortable and really look good.

I ordered my regular shoe size according to feedback on reviews. They were fell off my feet. I went down 1/2 size and they were perfect. Zappos made all of this happen is just a few days. They rock and so do these shoes (which come with a shoe bag by the way)!

These are nice work shoes--very comfortable (considering they are heels) and I like the rounded toe since I have big feet (pointed toes make them look even bigger). I wear a 10 and the size was just right for me.

I got these for both work and casual/dress wear. I like the height of the heel (I am tall, so usually wear flats or wedges so I don't look like Bambi walking for the first time), and it works well with pants, jeans, and dresses. It is definitely more of a casual dress shoe (I got in the black nero color, which is not quite patent, but does have nice shine), but will work well for me. They are not as comfortable as I was expecting - I can see where my feet will hurt after a couple hours of wear, but are definitely more comfortable than other heels I own. I sized down to 8.5 (usually wear 9), and fit is perfect.

The Born Sabrina is so soft and comfortable. Did stretch a little, but not a problem for me. I stood for hours the first time I wore them. Love them, and love Zappos.

Comfortable nice looking heel with great cushioning for your foot. I especially liked the almond toe curve (I am not a big fan of sharp toe heels). The only thing that was strange about these was they were at least half a size too big. My size is 6 - 7 and the 6 had to be modified with heel inserts, etc. to make them fit.

A beautiful shoe made of lovely leather. Very comfortable and true to size. The heel is artfully curved -- when it arrived it was a pleasant surprise.

Yes! Finally found a gray heel that is comfortable enough to wear all day at work (I'm wimpy when it comes to having uncomfortable feet). I love the almond toe and the slightly curved heel is different and cute. Very wearable and highly recommended!

I almost never write reviews, but I adore these shoes so much I've already bought them in two colors and am planning on getting two more colors. They are incredibly comfortable and I'm able to wear them at my standing desk for hours with no trouble. They were true to size for me, and they are just beautiful! They are the perfect heel for me. I cannot recommend them enough.
